As a singer and guitarist, he was one of the prime begetters of rockabilly. As for Perkins himself, he remains proud of his legacy: "I loved it--there ain't nothing prettier than two clean teenagers out there jitterbugging. He manages to describe his subject's struggles (of which there were many) without descending into voyeuristic pathography. Carl Perkins tends to turn up in rock-and-roll chronicles as an also-ran: the guy who wrote "Blue Suede Shoes," cut a crackling version of the song for Sun, and then saw Elvis nudge it out of the spotlight with his version.

One Of The Most Beloved Entertainers Of All Time Craig Connell I'm very glad that Carl Perkins is so beloved that people still talk about him, read about him and listen to his music. The Beatles, particularly George Harrison, kept his name alive for many years, as did other great musicians - mainly the British, who revere the American rockabilly stars of the 1950s.Of all the great performers of the early ro. Inspiring!! Bill Taylor What a story!! This should be a must read for all of us who get to feeling sorry for ourslves. Carl Perkins came from abject poverty,a racially discriminating South,was known as "white trash",wrote one of rock n rolls seminal tunes,was on the brink of superstardom,lost it all,became a sideman to another Sun records stablemate,delved into the pit. "Great Look Into The Life of a Great Talent" according to Jerry Peddycoart Jr.. I really enjoyed this book. Unlike others that I have read (Little Richard, Chuck Berry, etc), this book is not an attempt to stake a claim to the title of "King of Rock and Roll". This book offers what appears to be an honest and humble look into the life of the King of Rockabilly. Perkins gives due credit to his influences and songwriting assi
